Exfoliation is a simple idea and has long been a trick of the professional stylist's trade, but only recently has exfoliation hit the mainstream. When you exfoliate your skin you buff away the dead skin cells that linger on the top of your face, thereby revealing a glowing layer of fresh, young skin.

Splash your face with cool water, pat dry, and enjoy the healthy look of your radiant...more
